This is a story that might anger some Oklahoma football fans, but it’s really a good-news story about a former member of the OU football family.
It wasn’t that many seasons ago that Sooner fans were lamenting the fact that Oklahoma had let former defensive coordinator Brent Venables walk.
In retrospect, it turned out to be a giant mistake, especially since Venables landed on his feet at Clemson and hit the ground running.
